The position

As Business Director, you will be responsible for a portfolio of clients, with full accountability for the development of client relationships, commercial performance and the quality of our collaboration. You will combine a strong commercial understanding with strategic focus and creative curiosity to develop existing business, identify new opportunities and build lasting partnerships.

You are more than a trusted client contact. You are a proactive business partner who understands your clients’ businesses, markets and challenges, and uses that knowledge to identify where they can grow. You know how to challenge a brief constructively, recognise opportunities beyond the immediate request and turn them into relevant strategic and creative engagements. You connect business ambitions with the right people, thinking and capabilities to ensure we create work that matters to people and delivers value for the business.

The role combines account leadership, business development and project leadership. You will work closely with Account Managers and lead multidisciplinary project teams, bringing together strategists, creatives, producers and other specialists as required. Rather than managing a fixed team, you create direction, alignment and momentum across the people involved in each engagement, ensuring that they work towards a shared ambition and deliver high-quality work.

You will also play an important role in the continued commercial development of NoA | &Co., contributing to our broader agency strategy and helping strengthen our position as a proactive growth partner to our clients.

Your responsibilities

· Client and account leadership: Take overall responsibility for your client portfolio, including client strategy, relationships, budgets, forecasting and profitability. Build strong partnerships with senior stakeholders and develop a deep understanding of their business priorities, challenges and ambitions.

· Commercial growth and new business: Proactively identify opportunities to grow existing accounts, develop new services and engagements, and expand relationships across &Co. and the wider NoA network. Build a qualified pipeline of opportunities, lead proposals and pitches, and turn commercial potential into sustainable business.

· Strategic client advisory: Look beyond incoming briefs to identify the problems and opportunities that matter most. Bring market, category, customer and business perspectives into client conversations, challenge assumptions and help define the right strategic direction and marketing response.

· Project leadership and orchestration: Lead complex projects from the initial client conversation through strategy, creative development and delivery. Bring the right disciplines together, clarify roles and responsibilities, coordinate resources with relevant colleagues and ensure that strategy, creativity and specialist expertise work towards a common goal.

· Agency development and collaboration: Contribute to &Co.’s commercial direction and ways of working. Share knowledge, strengthen collaboration across disciplines and the NoA network, and help develop an agency culture where proactive business development, creative ambition and measurable outcomes go hand in hand.

Your profile

We are looking for an experienced agency or consulting professional with a proven commercial track record, a strategic mindset and a genuine appreciation for creativity. You are a hybrid profile, combining the perspective of a marketer and business advisor with a strong commercial drive. You understand how to build relationships, identify opportunities and bring people together to create value. You bring:

· Commercial and business understanding: You have a strong track record of developing client relationships, growing revenue and managing budgets and profitability. You understand the relationship between business strategy, brand, marketing and commercial performance.

· Strategic and creative curiosity: You look beyond the immediate task to understand the underlying challenge, identify opportunities and advise clients on the right response. You believe in the power of creativity and understand how strategic thinking and creative solutions can move people and businesses forward.

· A proactive business-development mindset: You enjoy identifying new opportunities, developing existing accounts and winning new clients. You are commercially minded, entrepreneurial and comfortable taking ownership from the first conversation through to a successful engagement.

· Relationship-building and communication skills: You are confident advising and challenging senior stakeholders, and you build trust through curiosity, honesty and sound judgement.

· Project leadership and collaboration: You can lead complex, multidisciplinary teams without relying on formal authority. You create clarity, align different specialists around a common ambition and maintain momentum from strategy through delivery.

· Marketing and digital awareness: You have a solid understanding of contemporary marketing, branding and communications, alongside an interest in how media, technology, data and AI can create new possibilities for clients.

Above all, you care about both the quality of the work and what it achieves. You are energised by building lasting partnerships, creating commercial opportunities and helping talented people produce work that delivers meaningful outcomes.

· A central commercial role in the continued development and growth of one of Denmark’s leading creative agencies.
